If nothing else, the Financial Times' Trevor Butterworth finds some out-of-the-ordinary - even titillating - metaphors to present his view of the practice of blogging, its advocates and its critics, its strengths and its weaknesses, its impact and its future ...
For example ... "Which brings us to the spectre haunting the blogosphere - tedium. If the pornography of opinion doesn't leave you longing for an eroticism of fact, the vast wasteland of verbiage produced by the relentless nature of blogging is the single greatest impediment to its seriousness as a medium."
Go, refill your coffee cup, settle down, and CLICK HERE for Butterworth's entire essay. Later, I'd like to know what you think of some of the points he makes.
